Behold Your Risen Lamb Song Devotion

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, The Lord Jesus is your risen Lamb of God; absolutely NEVER forget that ETERNAL REALITY. Jesus ETERNALLY decimated and conquered sin and death through His resurrection, giving ETERNAL life to all who place their ETERNAL trust in Him. Today He is FOREVER alive, seated at the Father's right hand, faithfully building His church and interceding for His people, and one day will return for His bride as He promised (John 14:1-3, 1 Thes. 4:13-18, 1 John 3:1-4)

One day, our risen Lamb will return again to the earth with His church in great power and glory (Dan. 2:44, 7:13-14, Zech. 14:5, Jude 1:13-14, Rev. 19:11-21). He will reign as King of kings, fulfill every promise God has made, and establish His RIGHTEOUS kingdom on the earth for a thousand years (Dan. 9:24-27).

Then, after all things are made new (Rev. 21, 22:1-5), we will behold Him FOREVER in His ETERNAL kingdom and see the ETERNAL Triune God face to face! There will be no more sin, sorrow, pain, or death, or all will be restored in ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS. We then will worship our risen Savior face to face and rejoice in His presence FOREVER (Rev. 21, 22:1-5)!

Beloved, as believers in Jesus, our great ETERNAL hope in reality is that we will one day see our risen Lamb in every stage of God's perfect plan throughout our pilgrim journey and throughout all ETERNITY: as our Savior who rose from the grave, as our coming King who will reign for a thousand years upon the earth, and as our ETERNAL Lord in ETERNITY, of whom we will worship enjoy and serve FOREVER and EVER, amen!

Yeshua Returns to Israel - Unto the Chief Musician Music Song Devotion

Yeshua Returns to Israel

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, throughout the Holy Scriptures Yahweh's Word continually points forward to a day when Jesus Christ (Yeshua), Israel's promised Messiah, will return in ETERNAL power and glory to the very land where He first came in His humility. The very One who was rejected and crucified by His own will return from the Right Hand of the Majesty on High as the rightful KING of kings and LORD of lords (Rev. 6-19:11-21)! In that day, at the very end of Jacob's trouble, will the remaining demonically oppressed inhabitants of Israel look upon the very One whom they rejected, crucified, and pierced, and mourn in great repentance, and receive Him by faith to themselves (Zechariah 12:10; Romans 11:26–27)!

Beloved, Yeshua's return is not only Israel's hope, but the hope of the whole world for redemption and restoration in RIGHTEOUSNESS. In that Day, Yeshua will bring in EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS, where there has only ever been demonic rebellion, oppression, and war, and establish His glorious kingdom FOREVER (Dan. 2:44; 7:13-14, Zech. 12-14). As believers today, we eagerly await His glorious appearing, faithfully proclaim His ETERNAL gospel, His Divine plan for Israel, and rejoice that every promise Almighty God has EVER made WILL be completely fulfilled in Yeshua Messiah. Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your great love and for sending Yeshua to save us. Thank You that Your Word is true and that every promise You have made to Israel will come to pass at Yeshua's second coming. With a joyful heart we thank You and rejoice in You. Even so come Lord Jesus! Amen

My New Song - Song Devotional for Unto the Chief Musician!

 

My New Song

SONG DEVOTIONAL 

Key Scripture: Psalm 40:1–3

Beloved, every believer has a story and a song of Almighty God's amazing agape love, mercy, longsuffering, and grace to sing.

Before there was a new song, there was a faithful God who lovingly heard our cry for deliverance, lifted us from the horrible pit, set our feet upon the Rock of His RIGHTEOUSNESS, and established our steps and ways for His Great Name's sake. David perfectly understood that his song was not something he created; rather, it was something that the Lord wrote and placed within his heart.

Beloved, the same is absolutely true for us! The times and seasons may change, but our precious Savior NEVER, in FOREVER, will!

As we walk with Jesus and He leads us as our precious Shepherd, He continues His work in the hearts that are abiding in Him by faith. Through God's Word, Almighty God disciples us, disciplines us, teaches us, strengthens us, corrects us, comforts us, and transforms us into the likeness of His beloved dear precious Son. As Almighty God works in us, our lives become a testimony of His grace, and the "new song" He has now given us naturally flows and follows forth with joy and praise unto Him! One cannot help but just burst into joyful melody when we meditate and think upon the ETERNAL goodness of God!

This "new" song is not merely about music; it is about a life redeemed and changed by Jesus Christ and His goodness.

Beloved, may your new song be more than words and an intellectual expression upon your lips, but one of the testimony of an abiding heart that is lined up in Spirit and truth with the Savior! A redeemed heart that fully comprehends that they have been ETERNALLY redeemed, renewed, and are continually being transformed by the Lord day by day for His ETERNAL honor and glory.

"He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the LORD." — Psalm 40:3

REFLECTION QUESTION

1. How has God given you a "new song" through His saving grace and His ongoing work in your life?

2. What recent work of God has become a testimony that you can share with someone else?

3. Is your life pointing others to Christ so that they might "see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord"?

KEY SCRIPTURES

• Psalm 34:17
• 2 Timothy 2:19
• Ephesians 4:26
• Philippians 4:6–7
• Numbers 6:24–26

PRAYER
Heavenly Father, thank You for rescuing me and giving me a new song through Jesus Christ. Continue to shape my heart through Your Word and Your Spirit. May my pilgrim life and my praise testify of Your ETERNAL faithfulness, so that others may come to know and trust You. Let everything I say and do bring ETERNAL glory to Your RIGHTEOUS Name.

We ask these things in Your precious name, Lord Jesus; even so come, Amen.

Unto The Chief Musician - Song Devotion for Unto the Chief Musician Music

Unto the Chief Musician

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, every song has an audience, but in worship there is ONLY One unto Whom we sing!

As blood-bought believers in Jesus, our songs are ultimately sung unto the ETERNAL Chief Musician, the ETERNAL Lord of ETERNAL glory Himself. The triune God is the Creator of music, the giver of every good gift, and the only One worthy of all praise, devotion, and worship. Our greatest desire is that every melody, every lyric, and every note would bring ETERNAL glory to His holy Name.

True worship begins in the abiding heart of the child of God. As we abide in Christ, the Holy Spirit teaches our hearts to sing in harmony with God's Word and with His righteous character. Our songs become more than music; they become a testimony of Almighty God's grace, faithfulness, and EVERLASTING agape love.

Psalm 150 calls every living creature to praise the Lord. From the quiet song of one grateful heart to the joyful praise of God's people together, all worship belongs to Him in Spirit and truth, for He alone is worthy because He alone is our ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator, our Redeemer, our Shepherd, and our beloved coming King!

May every song we sing point others to our precious Jesus in Spirit and truth. May our lives be a continual sweet-smelling offering of praise, and may every note declare the greatness of the ETERNAL Chief Musician! May it be so!

"Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD!" (Psalm 150:6)

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

Is my worship centered on bringing glory to God or on myself?
Do my songs and my daily life reflect God's ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS character and His wonderful love?

How can I use the gifts God has given me to point others to Jesus Christ?

PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being the ETERNAL Chief Musician, the Creator of music and the One who alone is worthy of all praise. Fill my heart with songs that honor Your holy name and reflect Your ETERNAL righteous character.

Help me, dear Lord, to abide in Jesus so that my life and my music remain in harmony with Your Word and Character. May every melody I sing and every ministry You entrust to me point others to the beauty of Your precious Beloved Son and to the wonder of Your EVERLASTING agape love.

May my pilgrim life become a continual song of praise until the day I join the heavenly chorus around Your throne, singing FOREVER to Your glory!

We ask this in Your precious name of Jesus; even so come, Amen.

Almighty God Created You With An ETERNAL Divine Purpose

“So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them” (Gen. 1:27). Almighty God made every person either male or female, and everything Almighty God does is ABSOLUTELY COMPLETE and RIGHT. He made absolutely no mistakes at the beginning of the creation (Gen. 1:31). We need to be the person Almighty God made us to be, both by creation and also by redemption: “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7).
.

If a biological male identifies as a female, then he should be allowed to be a female, according to the lawless rationale of our ETERNAL Creator, rejecting, relativistic, politically correct society.
.

We are now told by government and society that a person’s sex or gender is not determined by biology, but by psychology. Supposedly, each person may decide his or her own gender, based on one’s own subjective sense of identity. If a biological male identifies as a female, then he should be allowed to be a female according to the lawless rationale of our ETERNAL Creator, rejecting a relativistic, politically correct society. However, in other settings and realms of our culture, world, and thinking we do not allow this lawless rationality.

 We are now told that a person’s sex or gender is not determined by biology, but by psychology. Supposedly, each person may decide his or her own gender, based on one’s own subjective sense of identity.
.

Some examples: A girl suffering from anorexia could be very thin, but she sees herself as fat. To honor such wrong thinking could be disastrous for her. Also, can a Hispanic person or a Caucasian person suddenly declare himself to be Chinese or an Eskimo?  Is our ethnicity based on how we might self-identify? If we can change our birth sex, can we also change our birth date? Can a thirteen-year-old identify as a 21-year-old who would be legally able to vote, drive, and drink?  Can a 5'10" basketball player become a 6'7" player just by seeing himself as taller? Would his height delusion or the demanding of society to receive his delusion improve his game?  When we leave the realm of reality, there is no end to the nonsense that results (Rom. 1:18-32). Dear friends, is this not a simple matter to discern? But in the mind of millions, it all comes down to one's own personal rebellion, lawless selfish ambitions, and narcissistic thinking; that all are expendable and must be forced to keep one's illusion and delusion alive and intact.

We tell Almighty God, I want to be what I want to be and live the way that I want to live, and don't you dare judge me or shed any ETERNAL REALITY on my subjective delusion.

Dear friends, does not the world do the very same thing when it comes to the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God? We who are fallen sinners tell Almighty God that we are RIGHTEOUS and DO NOT need His propitiation and Savior (Psalm 14, John 3:16-21, 1 John 1:8-10)! We tell and demand of Almighty God, I want to be what I want to be and live the way that I want to live, and don't you dare judge me or shed any ETERNAL REALITY on my subjective delusion! Dear friends, that mindset is the true fulfillment and heart of all such crazy thinking in our world today!

The all-wise ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator does all things well, and for us to lecture Him and condemn Him is indeed the height and zenith of man's insanity and rebellion!

The all-wise ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS Creator does all things well, and for us to lecture Him and condemn Him is indeed the height and zenith of man's insanity and rebellion! Now, dear friends, back to the topic at hand: Our sex is not our own personal choice, but rather it is part of God’s perfect plan for our lives for His glory. We need - as human beings - to be content with who we are, because we are very precious in God’s sight. Dear friends, that is the wonder of it all; that Almighty God loved us so much that He sent His Son to be our propitiation for our sins and seeks to redeem us to be Whom He intended us to be from the beginning of creation (Gen. 1:30, John 3:16-17, Rom. 10:2-4). Almighty God loves us ETERNALLY too much to compromise and allow us to live in our sinful delusion and to deceive us that we are fit for ETERNITY when we are not.

Almighty God loves us ETERNALLY too much to compromise and allow us to live in our sinful delusion and to deceive us that we are fit for ETERNITY.

Do you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior? To know Him is to know forgiveness, pardon, REALITY, and RIGHTEOUSNESS! If you do not, we would like for you to do our Gospel of John Challenge so that you can see for yourself how much Jesus loves you!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
